I've always wondered, if a person has an eidetic (photographic) memory, goes to the library and flips through all pages of a book (i.e. places them in his memory) and then goes home to peruse the content of that book, has he violated the author's copyright? Or what if he "reads" the book from memory (instead of directly from the printed book) to someone else, maybe to an audience who pays him a fee for doing so?
Enquiring minds want to know!
